RESUMO:

Statements used by adults regarding the use of digital technologies for children focus on their latent threats, without a deeper understanding of the phenomenon and leaving aside the knowledge of the subjects themselves. Children’s interaction with both information and communication technologies is still a poorly studied regarding how children come to master these tools. Given YouTube throbbing presence in children’s daily lives, this becomes an important field to explore in order to fully understand current childhoods and contemporary developmental contexts. This research aimed to know the practices of both content production and consumption by children from seven to twelve years old, through children's perspective, understanding their perceptions of these practices and the particular appropriations of the use of this platform by children's cultures. It was a participatory research, which corroborates the defense of knowledge production about children, based on partnership with children themselves. Data collection was performed in two integrated phases and with a transversal collaboration of a child researcher, who participated in the research construction, from planning and collection to data analysis. In the first stage, 65 children from a private and a public school, both in the city of Salvador, individually answered a questionnaire applied by tablet. In the second stage, eight children from the previous group were selected, and participated, individually or in pairs, in conversational interviews and participatory observations of YouTube-related activity. Data analysis adopted a qualitative perspective and counted with the help of the child-researcher, ensuring the presence of the child´s perspective look on the phenomenon. The findings point to the importance of YouTube in children’s daily lives, appropriated by them as a playful, educational and interactive tool. Children make a diverse use of this platform – they access heterogeneous content and engage in various ways in the possibilities of participation and interaction available. Differences were found between schools, especially regarding frequency of use, risk recognition and interactivity. Analysis of children’s preferences showed gender differences in relation to content accessed on the platform. Interaction with peers on and off the net has been found to be a central factor in children’s YouTube practices. The production and posting of videos was presented as an important contemporary playful practice. This research highlights the practices of children on YouTube as an important field of study for understanding current childhood, indicating ways for future investigation on the topic. The need to conduct research on the use of information and communication technologies that include children in socioeconomic disadvantage is also highlighted. This study aimed to contribute to a less dichotomous understanding of the uses of technologies by children as reflective and competent social actors, which should be included in the production of knowledge.
